Sometimes that ginger he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a ginger... they's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When they comes at ya, they doesn't seem to be living...

doubled99:Most scales set the mean IQ at 100 with a standard deviation of 15. 130 puts her on the borderline between two and three standard deviations: about the 95th percentile. This isn't genius material -that's typically put at the borderline between three and four deviations- but it's not too shabby at all.That said, I'm not qualified to diagnose, but no way is this Asperger's. She's crossing lines that are not typical of that diagnosis: Asperger's kids can be awkward, even creepy, and sometimes they even make threats, but as a rule they are not actually dangerous. These repeated attacks on teachers suggest some very different diagnoses: ones that society does not look on nearly as kindly.

Guess it's time to invent another new "disorder" to diagnose kids with

You know that cartoon where Porky Pig is babysitting for a lady defense worker and the lady give Porky a book called (something like) "Successful Child Rearing." She tells Porky "If he gives you any trouble, just use the book" And then she flies off to work. Literally.

And the kid is a brat and Porky flips through the pages trying to find a solution. But nothing really works. When the lady gets home, she finds Porky exhausted and the kid being a brat. She says to Porky "Did you use the books?" Porky said he did but nothing worked. The lady says "You don't use the book that way. Use it this way" and she picks up the kids and starts beating him on the butt with the book.

My gifted child tried to pick up a chair and swing it at meand I slapped him to the ground so hard he couldn't even get up and cry. Just sort of laid there had an asthma attack for a bit or something. We didn't send him to school for a bit and his jaw was so swollen he couldn't talk very well for a day or two, so that was well worth it. 6 year olds, you know?

Let's see... she's smart but not brilliant, but her parents tell her that she is. If she experiences the slightest hint of failure, she explodes. She is obviously indulged and given whatever she demands, as is evident in part by her weight. No one is denying her her snackies. She's not aggressive at home, because she's listened to given whatever she demands. Since the parents are "100% sure she has Aspergers" without a diagnosis, they will not entertain that she is a little shiat in need of firm discipline. Not her fault, it's her Aspergers. No one listens to her at school. That's the problem.
